ALBANY -- Officials with the Dougherty County Police Department are looking into a possible armed robbery that took place at a Flash Foods on the Liberty Expressway early Tuesday.

"The suspect said he was armed and demanded money from the clerk," Kirkpatrick said. "He took an undetermined amount of cash and fled the scene."

The suspect was described as a black male about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a purple T-shirt, black pants, white shoes and a black bandanna over his face, Kirkpatrick said. It was unclear what the man's approximate age was.
